Hello Alex, I've been using your client for the past two months, but two weeks ago I came across a problem that I cannot get around - as I try to create session I get "ConnectionRefusedError: [WinError 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it" error, looking around internet it seems to indicate an issue with the localhost port... have you ever come across this? It's very weird as I've run it many times before no problem and was able to stream data, but now this error pops up every time. Thank you for your amazing chanel.
I've noticed that there are a lot of changes on the code since the video. In my tests folder i don't have test_startup.py. Where can i find all the links in that file?
IBKR allows you to turn off 2FA. They way I did was create an additional primary user that only has trading privileges and for authentication I selected username/password only.
@@skyricho thanks for the clarification. Unfortunate thing that I discovered is that it doesn't work for the Client Portal Web API Gateway, but for TWS and IB Gateway it works fine.
Hi Alex, just cause you mentioned the two step verification for logging in. Today when I tried running my TD api, it kept stopping on the step right before grabbing a code and prompting me to enter a code from a text so it messed up the whole automated process. I am wondering if you can still use automated logging in process on TD Ameritrade on your end or if its now a universal thing. It only happened to me today.
So with the TD API, things are a little better because you only need to do that authentication every 90 days. Because once you paste the URL back into the terminal it gets the refresh token for you and saves it. So, you could fully automate it but you need a way to receive a code sent to you.
is it possible to write this code in just an editor like ATOM and then run it using command prompt?? I haven't used these IDE's and don't want to use them either. Can anyone tell me what changes do I need to make and what files I need to keep in my working directory for everything to work?? Thank in advance..._/\_
Hey, how did you find the endpoints that was not in the API Doc?
This is gonna be very useful to UK bro. We cannot access Robinhood, alpaca etc. IB api is all we have.

Love these videos !
Any chance you could share the syntax highlighter you use in VS code ?
I find it very nice and would also like to use it.
Awesome video - have you used Ib_insync or any other wrappers for the IB API?
I have not but I have heard of them.
Did you ever figure out how to get a proper SSL cert verification without bypassing?
IBKR allows you to turn off 2FA. They way I did was create an additional primary user that only has trading privileges and for authentication I selected username/password only.
When you do this, can you circumvent the need for the Gateway? Or it just removes the additional step of authenticating on another device?
@@truedox The latter. You still need the gateway.

Yes
your git hub code today is very different from this video
fonts too small and blur, see nothing! waste a good teaching video!
It's fine for others. Turn up your video quality setting.
